And much like all people who do nothing useful yet try to inject themselves into the solution anyway, it doesn’t know how to say “I don’t know”.
It’s just enthusiastic bullshit. It’s perfect for replacing middle managers, salesmen, politicians, etc.
Performative positivity makes me positively want to perform a poo
Genuinely the most toxic bullshit.
Basically, we made AI Patrick Bateman.
… you know, a charismatic, optimistic mask, stretched over a howling void of rage, fury and insecurity.
Yep, we taught the LLMs corpospeak, and the corpos and tech bros love them.
Has nobody else played Shadowrun?
You just learn different etiquettes, different dialects, and this functions as a charisma/speech boost to the relevant demographic.
Corposociopaths of course love themselves more than anything else, so obviously they craft a mad machine god in their own image, which is of course ‘perfect’.

Who exactly are these “they” whose thinking LLMs are conscious?
AI bros and their fans.
Show me one “AI bro” claiming LLMs are consciouss.
This was back in 2022 when LLMs were exponentially worse too.

“They taught AI to talk like a middle manager…” isn’t refering to the people at /r/MyBoyfirendIsAI. Those are users, not the creators of it.
Do you not understand what an AI bro is? Here’s a start: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=AI+Bro
In this context, “AI bro” clearly refers to the creators, not the end users - which is what your link is about. Users aren’t the ones who “taught it to speak like a corporate middle manager.” That was the AI company leaders and engineers. When I asked who “they” are, I was asking for names. Someone tried to dodge by saying “AI bros and their fans,” but that phrase itself distinguishes between two groups. I wasn’t asking about the fans.
Let me rephrase: name a person responsible for training an AI to sound like a corporate middle manager who also believes their LLM is conscious.
Alright, I see your angle here. Creators generally try to avoid answering that question because they get more money if they muddle the waters. Thanks for elaborating!

More to the point, who thought middle managers were conscious?
